The Easiest Updo You Have to Try

We're deep into the dog days of summer and, after months sporting beachy waves and taming our frizz-prone hair, all we really want to do is get those tangled strands out of our face. Cue the inspiration, in the form of this easy, breezy updo that Eliza Dushku was seen wearing last week in L.A.. Here's how to get it yourself:

__Work* with *your waves. __This style looks fresh because it's so haphazard. If your hair is naturally wavy, congratulations! You're halfway done with the style. If it's not, learn how to coax some texture out of your hair here.)

Choose your part. Dushku's rocking a center part, which isn't the most flattering on most people. So unless you know it looks good on you, run your fingers through your hair and go with whatever natural part your hair falls into.

Build yourself up. Teasing the hair at the crown a little helps dress up the style and give it a vaguely '60s feel.

Rake it back. The secret to this cool (and quick!) updo is not making it perfect—so pull the hair loosely back with your fingers and gather it at the nape of the neck. If some pieces fall out, all the better.

Do the twist.__ Coil the hair around on itself, pinning it in place as you go. And don't obsess about any hairs sprouting out of the bun—they're all good, according to the pros.
